3. Morphemic Analysis:

• kontroll: Root. Origin: French contrôle (via Danish/Norwegian), ultimately from Latin contra rotulus ("against the roll"). Function: Noun, denoting supervision or regulation.
• endring: Root. Origin: Old Norse endring. Function: Noun, denoting a change or alteration.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

6. Edge Case Review:

Nynorsk allows for both "hard" and "soft" pronunciation of consonants. The 'r' in 'kontroll' is typically alveolar trill /r/ or tap /ɾ/. The double 'l' indicates a geminate consonant, lengthening the sound. The 'n' in 'endring' is also often pronounced as a velar nasal /ŋ/ before a consonant.

7. Grammatical Role:

"kontrollendring" functions solely as a noun. Syllabification and stress remain consistent regardless of its grammatical context within a sentence.

9. Phonological Comparison:

• forandring (change): /fɔˈrɑnːdrɪŋ/ - Syllable division: for-an-dring. Similar structure, with a geminate consonant. Stress on the first syllable.
• innflytelse (influence): /ˈɪnːflytˌɛlsə/ - Syllable division: inn-fly-tel-se. Demonstrates a longer word with multiple syllables, but still adhering to the onset maximization principle.

10. Alternative Pronunciations/Regional Variations:

Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation exist, particularly regarding the realization of the /r/ sound and the degree of gemination. Some dialects might exhibit a weaker alveolar trill or a more centralized vowel in the first syllable. However, these variations do not significantly alter the syllable division.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "tr" in "kontroll").
• Vowel Peak: Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
• Sonority Sequencing: Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel).
